KENDALLVILLE — A Butler woman died Sunday as a result of injuries she received in a single-vehicle accident Saturday, the Noble County Sheriff’s Department said.

Susan Allen, 52, of Butler was

pronounced dead at about 2 a.m. Sunday at Parkview Regional Medical Center, Fort Wayne, from injuries she sustained in a motorcycle crash on S.R. 8 near C.R. 600E Saturday at about 6 p.m., said Noble County sheriff’s Deputy Lesley Fox.

A motorcycle driven by Jack Allen, 49, of Butler — Susan Allen’s husband — was

traveling east on S.R. 8 behind a pickup pulling a trailer, Fox said.

The pickup started to turn in to a driveway just over a rise in the road, which was obscured from Jack Allen’s view, Fox said. He came over the rise and tried to stop, but the motorcycle’s brakes locked up. He laid the motorcycle down,

and Susan Allen was ejected.The motorcycle was at fi rst believed to

have struck either the pickup or trailer, but actually struck neither, Fox said.

Susan Allen was transported by Noble County EMS to Parkview Regional, Fox said. Jack Allen suffered minor injuries, and rode with Susan to the hospital.

NEWVILLE — The Willennar Genealogy Center will host a cemetery walk in Evergreen Cemetery, Newville, at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 28.

Genealogy service coordinator Lynn Kaiser will lead cemetery residents, portrayed by individ-uals, as they share with you stories about their lives and that of their families. Many of these residents were store owners, blacksmiths, preachers, hack drivers, teachers and farmers.

Evergreen Cemetery is one of three cemeteries located east of Newville. There is the “Old Burying Ground,” Evergreen Cemetery, and Riverview

Cemetery. A portion of land was surveyed and platted by David Landis on June 16, 1875, and this became the Evergreen Cemetery.

The cemetery is located at the intersection of S.R. 8 and C.R. 79-A. The cemetery is just to the south on C.R. 79-A in back of the church. Cross the bridge at Newville and travel east 1/4 mile.

This is the eighth-annual cemetery walk hosted by the Willennar Center, a service of the Eckhart Public Library, Auburn.

Plan to attend and meet these “cool dead people” who were early settlers in the area and now make their home at Evergreen. They are waiting to meet you.

BUTLER — Flames destroyed a garage, damaged a neighboring house, and radiant heat caused damage to two other structures around 3:20 a.m. Saturday.

The fi re caused at least an estimated $60,000 damage to a garage owned by Shannon Hunter at 305 W. Depot St. and a home owned by Jim and Sheryl Lockhart, 315 W. Depot St., Butler Fire Chief Jeff Shultz said.

Monday, a state fi re investigator could not pinpoint a cause because of the severity of the damage, he added.

The Hunter garage was fully engulfed when fi refi ghters arrived, Shultz said. Heat and fl ames from that fi re melted siding and spread into the attic of the Lockhart home.

The Hunter single-car garage, measuring approximately 18-feet by 30-feet, was a total loss. A motorcycle, pool table and garage items inside were also destroyed, Shultz said.

Fire damages four structures

Firefi ghters battle a fi re in the 300 block of West Depot Street around 3:20 a.m. Saturday. The fi re destroyed a garage and damaged a neighbor’s house before it could be contained. Another house and garage sustained melted siding from the radiant heat.

BUTLER — A study could lead to a solution for a lingering odor issue that has plagued Butler residents and business owners for several years.

Monday, the Board of Works and Public Safety approved a $225,141 study with Donahue &

Associates that could connect a force main from Steel Dynamics to Butler’s wastewater treatment plant.

The fi nal price tag for the force main extension could be $800,000 or more, according to a consultant.

Currently, the force main from the steel corridor southwest of Butler connects into the city’s sewer system at Depot Street

and South Broadway. There has been a long-term issue of signif-icant sewer odor with downtown merchants and residents.

Industries in the steel corridor discharge approximately 400,000 gallons of sewage to Butler each day, said consultant Dave Wagner of Millennium Environmental. He estimated a cost of $800,000

to connect the force main directly into Butler’s treatment plant.

Depending upon Donahue’s study and cost estimates, it could be 12-18 months to complete any project, he added.

If Butler offi cials proceed, the work would include about a mile

FROM STAFF REPORTSBUTLER — A Garrett

woman sustained injuries while standing near a car that was hit by a railroad train early Sunday morning, the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department reported.

Jessica Corbin, 28, was struck by fl ying debris and suffered contusions and lacerations to her upper right arm and right shin. She was transported to DeKalb Health hospital in Auburn for treatment.

The incident began when Jason Freeman, 27, of Garrett, was driving east on U.S. 6 at 3:16 a.m. and swerved to miss a deer crossing the roadway

near the DeKalb County Humane Shelter west of Butler. Freeman lost control of his 2004 Chevy Impala, and it went off the south side of the road approximately 150 feet, becoming stuck on the Norfolk Southern rail lines.

Freeman told police he tried to free the vehicle from the tracks, but was unable to do so. He and his passenger, Corbin, were standing close to the vehicle, 1-2 minutes later when it was struck by a eastbound freight train. Freeman was not injured.

The sheriff’s department was assisted by the Butler Police Department, Butler Fire Department and DeKalb EMS.

Train strikes car, woman hurt

A Garrett woman was injured by fl ying debris from the car she was riding in when it became stuck on the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks west of Butler and was hit by a freight train Sunday morning, according to the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department.

FORT WAYNE — The 2013-2014 school year has started for most of Indiana’s school children.

The start of school brings increased bus traffi c and children waiting or walking near roadways. Indiana State Police reminds motorists to watch for children in school zones and waiting to board busses, especially in the early morning hours.

Remember, whenever the school bus stop arm is extended you are required by Indiana law to stop. Disregarding a school bus stop arm is a class B misdemeanor punishable with up to 180 days in jail and a $1,000

fi ne. Troopers will have zero tolerance for anyone disregarding a school bus stop arm or speeding in a school zone.

Most school bus-related accidents involve children

who dash in front of a car or school bus to retrieve papers or

other dropped articles. Parents are reminded of

the danger zone immediately surrounding the school bus. The

area, approximately 10 feet around the bus, is where most children are injured. The bus driver has limited visibility in this area. Parents should encourage children to carry articles in a backpack or book bag and never chase after dropped items.

Parents should also remind children

of these school bus safety tips:• Wait for the bus in a safe place

away from traffi c;• No horseplay at the bus stop;• Wait until the bus and other

traffi c comes to a complete stop before approaching the bus;

• Always cross in front of the bus. The driver should always be able to see you; and

• When on the bus, remain seated and talk quietly so the driver will not be distracted.

It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure our children are able to safely travel to school. Citizens are encouraged to report anyone observed disregarding a school bus stop arm by calling their local law enforcement agency.

State police urge caution around buses

MONROE — Offense ruled the Eastside-Adams Central football scrimmage at Monroe Friday.

The varsity units for the schools produced a combined 13 touchdowns in three scenarios, and the reserve groups reached the end zone at least once each.

What does it mean in the end? Probably nothing, but it gives players and coaches things to work on in preparation for Friday’s season-opening games.

The Blazers got to see quarterback contenders Cory Franz and Conner Dove in action, and each player had plenty of highlights.

Franz, a sophomore, completed 6-of-7 passes for 56 yards and a

touchdown. Dove, a freshman, was good on 3-of-6 passes for 57 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Dove also ran for one touchdown.

Junior P.J. Dean was on the receiving end of three passes, good for 55 yards and a score. Javier Moreno caught two passes for 26 yards and a score. Ty Lockhart grabbed three passes and Tristan Sprunger caught one.

On the ground, Dean ran for 31 yards and a score. Dove had 16 yards and a touchdown, and Kadis Renier added a touchdown run.

The Jets, like Eastside, are relatively young with just nine seniors and seven juniors on the roster.

Senior fullback Kyle Baker ran nine times for 68 yards and a touchdown. Senior Alex Byerly caught three passes for 51 yards and two touchdowns.

The Jets ran 24 times and passed only six times, but completed two for touchdowns.

The varsity contingents took turns starting at their own 35, the opponents’ 10 and the opponents’ 35. The Blazers cashed in twice from their own 35 and three times from the Jets’ 10. The Jets also scored three times from the Eastside 10. Both teams scored twice from the opponents’ 35.

The reserve Jets scored twice, once each from their own 35 and the Eastside 35. The reserve Blazers connected once from the Jets’ 35, on a 27-yard pass play from Tate Burns to Travis Kreidt.

Friday, the games are for real. Adams Central visits Blackford. Eastside hosts Garrett in the annual “Train Game.”

Blazers show promise

of new sewers, explained city superintendent Ted Miller.

Connecting the SDI force main directly to Butler’s treatment plant could give

the city additional capacity within its existing sewer system, particularly as the city tries to comply with combined sewer overfl ow (CSO) regulations.

“We’re trying to gain additional capacity,” Miller explained. “We feel it’s a better move instead of laying a bunch of pipes all over, to take the force main out to the treatment plant directly and see if that alleviates some of the CSO problems.”

While no plan has been discussed, one possible path for the extended SDI force main could be along Railroad Street to Beech and Green streets, then east to the treatment plant.

The fi re was reported at 2:01 a.m. at the Amos Steury residence, 1407 S.R. 1, north of Butler. Firefi ghters from six departments spent several hours battling the fl ames.

The homeowner awoke to a crackling noise, looked outside and saw fl ames coming from the detached garage, said Butler Fire Department Capt. Brent Miller.

A vehicle inside the garage also was destroyed. Miller did not know what was

inside the pole barn. Heat radiating from the garage fi re likely

ignited the pole barn, he said.Miller did not have a damage estimate,

but said both structures were total losses. There were no injuries.

Firefi ghters from Hamilton, Waterloo, Southeast (Concord Township and Spencer-ville), and Edgerton, Ohio, and Florence Township (Edon), Ohio also responded. DeKalb EMS personnel and Butler Police also responded. Auburn fi refi ghters covered Butler’s station, and Jackson Township covered Southeast Fire’s territory.

The fi re was declared under control at 4:18 a.m., but fi refi ghters remained at the scene until about 6 a.m., Miller said.

Firefi ghters knocked down fl ames and heat generated by the garage fi re so that they could enter the Lockhart home, where fl ames had ignited in the second-fl oor attic area, he added.

Eastern school board on Monday approved a new collective bargaining agreement for all teacher contracts.

New, two-year contracts now will include, among other changes, a salary schedule based on an effectiveness scale rather than education and experience. Teachers will be rated on a scale from highly effective to ineffective under the new agreement, and can earn pay increases based on their ranking.

Teachers evaluated as

highly effective or effective will be eligible for raises to their base salary awarded in increments of $500; teachers deemed ineffective or needing improvement will be placed on a 90-day plan and, if it is not completed, their contracts will not be renewed.

Previously, teachers were paid based on holding bachelor’s degrees or master’s degrees and their years of experience.

The new agreement also includes changes in the pay scales for athletic coaches and nonathletic extracurricular positions. Coaches will be paid according to the position

(head coach, assistant coach and associates) and extracur-ricular positions will be paid according to the level of the sponsorship of the activity.

In other business Monday, the board set a state-mandated public hearing for Sept. 16 on its 2014 operating budget.

The district is considering a total budget of $19.75 million, which district treasurer Phil Carpenter told the board is roughly 5 percent less than the district’s approved budget from a year ago. The district estimates $9.3 million will be raised from appeals and levies, the budget reads.
